Awe come on Timber. You are a fierse debater and I enjoy your OpEds, but there is no need to get personal.

I mean, accusing Yorick of not having origional ideas? He's IWs Traveling Bard! He makes his living on his creativity! He's just standing up for friends. We don't like it when others on this board slag on America, we shouldn't resort to the same. Moirraine and Masklinn have never slagged off on America. They may have disagreed with policies, but they've never been offensive. They deserve the same courtesy.

Now I disagree with the stand the French gov has taken, and more importantly the less public reasons for that stance. But I do think that a number of posts (I'm not singling any out in particular) in this thread have bordered on Ad Hom against the French as a people.

Attack the topic, not the people. Stay cool. [img]smile.gif[/img]
